Shoreline Stories is a whimsical, coastal-inspired sock pattern that captures the charm of windswept shores and seaside serenity. Featuring a stranded colourwork design with a lighthouse standing tall above gentle waves and seagulls bobbing along the waves, these socks are a delightful nod to maritime days and salty breezes.

Knit top-down using the magic loop method, the pattern includes options for a contrasting cuff, heel, and toe, and is worked in Drops Fabel on 2.25mm needles. With a gauge of 36 stitches x 38 rows in stockinette, this pattern is designed to fit five sizes (XS–XL) with an adjustable foot length.
Whether you’re dreaming of coastal adventures or simply want to bring a little seaside magic to your knitting, Shoreline Stories is a relaxing and satisfying project perfect for colourwork enthusiasts and nautical knitters alike.
